So tonight, around 10:15pm, a bouncing baby logo was born. Jive Software will soon be unveiling a new logo and holy cow, I can hardly wait. Sam and I have spent the better part of 3 months toiling away on a new Jive identity. As you can imagine it was full of frustration, irritation and pain. At the same time it has been the best identity design experience I’ve ever been a part of.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Never before have I worked for a company that so values disruption. I’ve never had a boss that not only tolerated but truly valued my nature to pick and poke at just about every idea or thought. And trust me. I poke a lot. There are no sacred cows at Jive.

And now I am bouncing up and down in my chair, dieing to show it off to everyone. The amount of elation I feel is incredible. Alas, we’ll have to wait until Friday, when the rest of the executive team finally gets to see it. They are going to love it. I can’t wait.

Too late, I just posted it...... just kidding.  It looks so hot though.  Hotter than Brad Pitt.

Ooooooooooooooh the suspense is KILLING me. I really hope you make a t-shirt with the new logo emblazoned across it, and come crashing through a wall or at least a big roll of paper.

You boss is an asshole.

Who can’t spell.

Michael Sigler Wed Jan 23 2008 at 10:45 pm

Your spelling is fine. It’s your grammar that’s weak sauce.

Jim Goings Wed Jan 23 2008 at 11:07 pm

Nice work Chibby.  It’s great when hard work produces something you’re proud of.

Chris Brentano Wed Jan 23 2008 at 11:07 pm

That *is* bad grammar.
